In one of my CSA boxes from Sweet Georgia P’s Farm this summer, I received the most beautiful bunch of garlic scapes. Garlic scapes are the twisty green tops that grow above garlic and they taste just like – wait for it – garlic. Garlic scapes really can be used in just about anything calling for garlic. I was able to use my bunch of garlic scapes all week in long – in salad dressings, in salsa, in pesto and tossed with pasta… So many options!

Chimichurri is a kind of like pesto – except it is made with a ton of parsley instead of basil. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of weeks or, if you really have too much, freeze it in ice cube trays and then store it so you can add a garden-fresh herb kick to another meal when your herb garden might not be so herbaceous!
